  • [b]Re: MAKING BADGES??[/b] [quote] You have to make sure it's an uncompressed TGA (the default format is RLE compressed), and that the origin is set to the lower left. I've had best luck using The Gimp to write them. You can get it at [/quote] Hah…
  • Re: Dragon magazine (Quote) Ah, thanks. Looks like it's issue 261. (That particular column didn't end up with much of an online excerpt though, just a blurb about it.)
  • Re: Another Ethereal Greeting Heh, I remember wayyyyyyyy back when I used to have a Dragon subscription. Really enjoyed most of those. Your Myth-related articles wouldn't happen to be represented in the "online back-issue excerpts" would …
  • Re: Myb clanplaid takes action? Truth is, those sorts of activities are full-time jobs, and almost all of us already have full-time jobs. :-) Anyone interested in doing something to change or fix the Myth world of gaming, especially ranked play, s…
  • [b]Re: No, it's not...[/b] [quote] Zag/Mark (who once seriously considered enrolling in cooking school, though I thought better of it) [/quote] Just think, if you had pursued your dream, you could have been on the premiere of Iron Chef USA tonight…
  • [b]Re: closure?[/b] O Irony, thy name is HTML. Turns out that what HTML 4.01 really wants is some sort of block markup around the contents of the form... i.e., the paragraph markup that was causing all these problems. Looks like I can stick it back…
  • Re: closure? Probably something like [!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"[ Haven't tried that yet to see what effect it would have. The reason is that I'm doing some things that are not in HTML 4.01, for backwards compatibil…
  • closure? Looks like using "text-align: center" in the style attribute, rather than setting align=center, makes Mozilla happier in general. Hopefully IE will like that too. I think that's the most standards-compatible way to do things. Ne…
  • Re: HTML question More fun... on my PC at home, Mozilla renders this like Netscape 6. On my Linux box at work, Mozilla renders this like Explorer... almost. It still has the problem of adding a tiny horizontal offset to the bottom bar in the div. …
  • [b]Re: HTML question[/b] I tried to make a simple example, and it didn't behave like I expected. After further investigation... it appears that Netscape only breaks things if there is a form inside the div, and paragraph markup inside the form. Si…
  • I'm trying to use a DIV with align=center, and the results are different in IE than in Netscape. It looks as though the reason is that the width of the DIV is different. Apparently in IE, the DIV is as wide as its widest contained element, while in…
  • Re: God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule That whole issue of The Onion was nicely done. Must have been difficult to decide how to approach the obvious topic; I think they pulled it off.
  • [b]Almost there... JavaScript/DOM undefined property problem in NS[/b] Aight, I've got something that works nicely in IE. In NS6 and Mozilla, it almost-sorta-works. The main problem I have is dealing with my need to mark various objects in the HT…
  • [b]Hmm[/b] http://noppa5.pc.helsinki.fi/koe/dhtml.html has some potentially interesting links near the bottom... they only work in Netscape though. >:-( Still not that close to what I'm looking for, but maybe it will be instructive.
  • I need a way to display an X/Y scatterplot on a web page. Specifically, I need to display a background image, and provide the user with buttons to determine which data set to display. The selected data set will cause icons to be placed at various p…
  • Re: Funny stuff That is one mellow dude.
  • Re: Cable Modem? Before you make any decisions about renting/buying, or about cable modems in general, you might want to trawl around for news about Excite@Home, which I think is the overarching organization for all @Home cable modem services. I th…
  • Re: Is this the happenin' place... Sure, take your best shot.
  • Re: No ranting fool... (Quote) I dunno... all the previews make it look like a very serious, scary, action sci-fi flick.
  • [b]Re: Win2k[/b] [quote] Aby ideas how System Shock and NOLF run on Win2k? Is there anywhere I can find out? [/quote] Dunno... I think SS2 is _supposed_ to run on Win2k, cf. this: http://www.irrationalgames.com/shock2/faq.cfm#2.2 I did a quick Go…
  • System Shock 2 so far... I started playing it over the weekend. Not sure when I'm going to be able to get back to it so here are my impressions so far. First, it is of course a WHOLE LOT LIKE Deus Ex, since it's a sequel to the game that Warren Sp…
  • Re: also! I have a list laying around of "games I really should get around to checking out"... NOLF is on the list, as is Undying, Aliens vs. Predator, Elite Force, and Blade of Darkness. Anyone else tried the full versions of these game…
  • [b]Re: New Computer/Thanks Nate![/b] In Quake 3, I highly recommend grabbing the Threewave map packs and trying CTF (if you don't already). There's also the popular mods like RA3, Urban Terror, and Q3F. I keep hearing rage reviews of System Shock …
  • Re: Bah again Close enough. :) Maybe it is indeed a Mac thing, I dunno. It's been pixel-precise the two times I've used it. Click Here, Dammit!
  • I removed your entry, try again Click Here, Dammit!
  • Re: Joystick The Sidewinder is supposedly a good one, yeah. Personally I've got a Saitek Cyborg 3D (and I think someone else around here does too, maybe Nate). I do like the feel and button action and positioning on it, but I'm far from being a joy…
  • Re: Thank you all.... There be several other Powers books too... I think _The Anubis Gates_ is my favorite one of his. More up-front outlandish than his later books. I like pretty much everything Powers has written though, with the possible excepti…
  • Re: A new suggestion... Is this from the author of _Warpath_? If so, and if you read that one too, how do the books compare? Click Here, Dammit!
  • Re: "Game of Thrones" as Myth inspiration? (Quote) True, true. And another sign of his skillz is that even so he has characters you genuinely like and root for, and characters that definitely get on your bad side. He doesn't make everyone …
